Julian Gaskell is a maverick multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter, producer, performer, storyteller and van driver.  Described in Cornwall by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, he is a ludicrously self-sabotaging musical talent whose work over the last 20 years has incorporated verbose punk, withering agricultural-folk, european street accordion and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano protest songs, torch ballads, weeping country laments and straight up rock’n’roll bangers.

"Mélodie des Choses" de Sébastien Giniaux est une oeuvre à part.

Elle est le fruit d’un parcours artistique peu commun allant du violoncelle à la guitare, des Balkans à Bamako, de la musique classique au jazz manouche, de la peinture à la parole.

Une réflexion sur l’identité, la création et la liberté. Une œuvre vibrante et actuelle aux teintes multiples et complémentaires, une lettre ouverte à l’imagination.

Né en 1981, Sébastien Giniaux débute le violoncelle à 6 ans au conservatoire de Bourg-la-reine avec Etienne Cardoze, puis poursuit son apprentissage aux C.N.R de Boulogne et d'Aubervilliers-la Courneuve.

Il rencontre la guitare et les musiques traditionnelles à 18 ans, et apprend l'instrument en autodidacte, avec pour influence première la musique de Django Reinhardt, à laquelle s'ajouteront bientôt les musiques des Balkans, la musique classique, le jazz et les musiques improvisées, et bien d'autres.

Il travaille également avec différentes formations en tant que compositeur, arrangeur et musicien, notamment pour Norig, Selmer #607, le Balkan Project, Téofilo Chantre, etc.
Le travail de peintre qu'il poursuit depuis l'enfance l'amène à appréhender les différents supports artistiques comme autant de langages.

Il se produit aujourd’hui en sextet autour de son projet "Mélodie des Choses" avec Joris Viquesnel (guitare), Jérémie Arranger (contrebasse), Mathias Levy (violon), Chérif Soumano (Kora) et Mihaï Trestian (Cymbalum).
